Detra Campbell of Moore Street captured this photograph of a tree that was struck by lightning about 6:30 p.m., Monday.
The tree smoldered at first, she said, then broke into full flame.
The fire department was dispatched to put out the burning tree. She said it rekindled a bit during the night, and she kept a close eye on it.

The tree is located in an open area behind the nursing home.
"It just goes to show how dangerous these little pop up storms can be," she said.
